Chapter 45: The Emperor
Oriental illusions.
As the birthplace of warrior monks, the illusion of the Eastern country is not mostly mastered by sorcerers (illusionists) like in the Western world. Many of the people who are proficient in illusion here are combat professionals, and the Oriental Maime is a good hand at using illusions. A lot of illusions are illusions, but when the strength reaches a certain level, it is the virtual reality, even if it is a troubadour who plays tricks, after advancing to a certain level, it will not be much worse than the orthodox spellcaster, and the Oriental Dancing Girl can master the 'mirror' ability after advancing to the legend.
Sauron didn't dare to make any changes, just quietly waited for the other party to make a move, looking for opportunities in response to all changes.
The woman who sneaked up on him was very strong.
At least a high-level professional, the possibility of being a legend is not ruled out, because she has clearly not done her best.
Jingle bells!
The crisp sound of the bell sounded, and the sound seemed to resonate with the heartbeat of a person, which actually made Sauron a little dazed for a moment, but he quickly recovered. At the same time, three phantoms appeared again in front of them, wearing light silk dresses and dancing with light and bewitching steps, although they could not see their faces clearly, they were full of infinite charm in the looming. The three seductive figures were not in a hurry to attack, but let out a crisp laugh around Sauron, as if enjoying the feeling of fooling their enemies.
- "Shadow Jump!" ”
- "Sword Momentum [Whirling Dance]!" ”
Sauron's figure leaped out, the scimitar in his hand turned into a cold light and slashed, and the three figures in front of him chuckled, dodged slightly sideways, and then stabbed with a dagger.
Bell Block!
The three figures were all entities, and they actually directly blocked Sauron's attack.
"Mirror!?"
Sauron's brows were tightly locked, and his expression was quite stern, and the enemies who could master the mirror image ability would not be too far away if they were not legends.
Where the hell is the ontology?
The combat power of the mirror image is very low, less than one-third of the main body, and even the legendary sword master who also cultivates the mirror image technique can only retain half of his strength at most. These three mirrors could not pose much of a threat to Sauron, but the Eastern Maiden hidden in the shadows was very dangerous, and Sauron had not been threatened by such a stealthy enemy for a long time.
What does it taste like?
Just as Sauron was a little confused about the enemy's position, his nose suddenly twitched, and then a gleam erupted in his eyes, and he leaped towards the position of the bed.
- "Shadow Attack!" ”
- "Sword Momentum [Decapitation]! ”
Fragrance.
There was a very light scent in the room, which was the scent of a woman.
Clang!
The sound of weapons clashing sounded, and a pair of serpentine daggers suddenly appeared, and then a slender figure was forced to appear, flying upside down a meter under the impact of Sauron's explosion, and directly hitting the wall in the room.
"Hmm!"
The hazy shadow gradually became clear, and the figure of the Oriental Dancing Girl appeared, and said in a voice with a hint of pain: "Wait a minute! Stop it! I throw in the towel! It hurts! ……”
"Bastard!"
"I throw in the towel! Don't fight anymore! ”
Sauron's gaze was cold, and the fierce attack did not stop at all, after a sword move decapitation, it was followed by a horizontal slash, and at the same time, he launched a sword momentum [Whirling Dance] with a low shout, sealing all the dead corners of the opponent.
Kill with a move!
Although the other party had already opened his mouth to admit defeat, Sauron had no intention of stopping.
- "Instantaneous! ”
Dongfang Maiji's face finally changed drastically, and she finally knew what a dangerous enemy she had provoked, she was quite wolfish and turned to avoid it, her slender waist was almost folded in half, and her amazing flexibility allowed her to avoid Sauron's attack, and at the same time, her figure suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Sauron.
"Stop!"
Dongfang Wuji stepped back, and said in an anxious voice: "I'm just trying your skills!" Not an enemy! I was planning to join your team and earn some pay, so I came to test you! ……”
"Wait!"
"We've met! It's in the Adventurer's Guild! ”
Clang!
The sound of weapons clashing sounded again, and Sauron withdrew his scimitar with a frown, staring at the other party with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Take off your veil." ”
Dongfang Maiji finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him stop.
She first gasped sharply, then frowned and looked at her arm, on the bare white arm, there was already a faint blood mark, if she hadn't dodged fast enough, I was afraid that she would be cut in half by the man in front of her. The Oriental Dancing Queen looked at Sauron with a strange expression, and then slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face with an exotic oriental style, and a small tear mole in the corner of her eye.
Sauron stared at the woman in front of him, his memory was racing, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Who are you the Emperor of the East?" ”
Oriental Emperor!?
Sauron's words made the face of the woman in front of her change greatly, and she clenched the serpentine dagger again in an instant, and said in a nervous voice: "Who are you?" Why do you know this? ”
Sure enough, it has something to do with Dongfang Diji!
Sauron's mind couldn't help but have a figure that overwhelmed the country and the city, which made him subconsciously touch his ears.
Back then, he traveled throughout the continent after advancing to the legend, and he fought countless legendary powerhouses, and even the sage incarnated by the gods had fought against him several times, but he was defeated in the hands of a mysterious woman in the East. Not only did he fail in his mission, but he lost nearly a third of his team's manpower, and finally handed over one of his ears.
At that time, as long as he slowed down, I am afraid that he would lose not one ear, but the whole head!
Oriental Emperor.
An advanced dancing girl with a career level of 30+, proficient in illusion, mirroring, charm and other abilities, good at stealth, assassination, and finding out news, and secretly controlling many ji pavilions in the Eastern Country, no one knows her true identity, and she can't judge the camp tendency. She has a very special thing in her hand, which is said to be an artifact handed down from the Eastern Country, which can make people have an ageless face and a long lifespan.
"Say."
Sauron's eyes were slightly cold, he regained his grip on the hilt, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?" ”
The expression of the Dongfang Maiji in front of her was complicated, as if she didn't understand why a person from the western part of the continent would know about the existence of the Dongfang Diji, she took a step back slightly, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I really just plan to test your skills, I just received information that in the underground ruins you are going to, there is something that makes Her Excellency the Emperor Ji also very interested." ”
"So I was ordered to take it out."
"I have no ill will! Otherwise, I'll use the Ecstasy incense before you enter the house. ”
Incense.
The methods used by the Oriental Dancing Girl may sometimes capsize even the legend in the gutter.
"What's that?"
Sauron's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you didn't come here to test my skills, but to steal information about the underground ruins from me, right?" ”
It seemed that Sauron was right, and the Oriental Dancing Girl in front of her looked a little evasive.
She had been secretly observing Sauron's actions all this time, and found that many of his preparations seemed to be geared towards certain situations. This made her very sure that Sauron had specific information about the inside of the underground ruins, and if he didn't know the general situation inside the ruins, he would never have deliberately prepared so many things.
Dongfang Maiji didn't speak, as if she acquiesced to this, and then said, "There is something inside this underground ruin, which is a gem left behind by the Desert Kingdom. My task is to find it, as for everything else I don't want, if you think it's okay, maybe we can work together. ”
"Since you know Your Excellency Emperor Ji's existence, you should also know our strength."
"With our help, it will be much easier for you to explore the underground ruins, and we need your information about it, after all, there is a terrifying Balor Flame Demon sealed underneath."
The other party's words made Sauron fall into deep thought.
For a person like Sauron, there are basically no eternal enemies, and he can even deal with the capricious, vicious, and sinister Drow Elf Mastermother who has cooperated many times, and it is not impossible to cooperate with the Oriental Dancing Queen in front of him now.
Merely!
He couldn't trust the woman in front of him, just as he had never believed the promise of the Drow Mistress in the first place.
The people of the Emperor of the East are no better than the female Drow Elves!
However, their strength may still be able to be borrowed, Sauron is used to seeing the sinister cunning of the Drow elves, so even if the woman in front of him is not very trustworthy, the confidence in his heart is not false.
It's nothing more than using each other, and each relying on means at critical moments.
Although he suffered a secret loss at the hands of the Drow Elf Mastermother, he also stabbed her hard in the end, and Sauron also had some confidence in his heart when it came to playing tricks.
"Good!"
Sauron looked at the other party, nodded unexpectedly and cheerfully, and said in a deep voice: "Let's leave the day after tomorrow!" I still need something, maybe you can get it for me. ”
Dongfang Maiji didn't seem to expect Sauron to agree so quickly, but in the end, she smiled and nodded slightly, and her eyes flickered: "No problem." ”
"What you want will be delivered tomorrow."
………………
It seems that this is the case.
Sauron finally decided to leave the day after tomorrow, and the cannon fodder group with him also had an extra high-level and above Oriental Dancer, as well as some of the people she brought over. Although Sauron couldn't know everything about the situation inside the underground ruins, there was a cloak that was like an artifact for wanderers, so he remembered the general situation and regional distribution inside. In this case, he is equivalent to occupying a geographical advantage, and even if an accident occurs, he is more than 50% sure.
So.
On the morning of the third day, this group of adventurers set out on the road to the ancient ruins with nearly 100 men and supplies close to a caravan.
Before the start of a qiē!
Sauron must find the right excavation site and open a passage into the ancient ruins. R1152
